romney was asked about it last night. >> my position has been clear throughout this campaign. i'm in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest and the health and life of the mother. but recognize this is the decision that will be made by the supreme court. >> it is unclear if that distinction will be mentioned at the convention and given romney's evolution on reproductive rights, it's unlikely he will take a stand now. when romney challenged ted kennedy's massachusetts senate seat, he made it clear he had been a supporter of a woman's right to choose for over two decades. >> i believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. i have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a u.s. senate candidate. i believe that since roe v wade has been the law for 20 years, we should sustain and support it and i sustain and support that law and the right of a woman to make that choice. >> my mother and my family have been committed to the belief that we can believe as we want, but we will not force our beliefs on others on that ma

this is what newt gingrich said last night on cnn. >> they seem to have a overly methodical model where they go out and keep saying the same thing and it done -- the world's too fluid, too sophisticated for that, it's clearly something that you can go out and you can communicate and you can do dramatically better than romney's currently doing. >> lois, everybody in the republican party has advice for mitt romney ahead of the debate. rich lowry writes new yoo inven will save romney, it all comes down to him. what do you make of that? >> what it gets down to now, we have 40 days and can they turn around the narrative? it's looking less and less likely. obama people laid out a narrative he was out of touch that he was too rich, he was all of these things and then he played right into it with the 47% comment. and i think that's resonated with people. i've heard it from teen averages from venders, you know, people are remembering that and i don't know that he can turn it around because there's a migration of voters now. >> josh, when you look at health care stuff and romney's inability to se

after months of remaining silent on possible running mates, last night, team romney released this e-mail, saying sometime between now and the republican convention, mitt will be announcing his choice for vp. so instead of directly addressing the burning questions about the governor's time at bain, advisors are trumpeting an event that will take place in the next 47 days. governor rendell, i ask you first, how bad is this for mitt romney right now? can he put the genie back in the bottle? >> yeah, he can. this is the summertime. i'd say out of 300 million americans, about six or seven million are paying attention. anything that happens during the summer, you can recover from. but again, this whole controversy goes to whether mitt romney flip-flops, whether he's trustworthy, whether he tells the truth. it all goes to the character issue. the democrats and some of the media are building up a very good case against him. look, ann romney said in 2000 that mitt splits his time between the olympics and bain. when mitt himself left in 1999, he said i'm going to be part-time and i'm going to have
